Story
Meet Potter! This handsome boy is about 4 years old and is a silly guy! He loves to carry his toys when he goes for a walk, loves to play ball, and has a great time cuddling on the couch. He knows tons of tricks and will happily do all of them for a treat. He gets along well with most other dogs and he loves his kitty friends! As sweet as Potter is 99% of the time, he does get startled easily because his vision isn't great. If he is startled or doesn't see someone coming, he can be reactive. Potter would do best in a home with no small children and with a family that understands his limited vision.March 26, 2024, 1:21 pm

Pop Tart

Doberman Pinscher Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Stone Mountain, GA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Pop Tart! This gorgeous girl had a rough start with AARF. After spending nearly a month at animal control, she was attacked by her kennel mates at the shelter. Her injuries needed immediate vet care, and she spent the first 2 weeks of her time out of animal control at the vet's office. After battling a bad case of kennel cough and a long recovery from her injuries, Pop Tart is now happy and healthy and ready to find her forever home. Our best guess is that she is a red Doberman / pit bull mix, which means she is incredibly athletic, sweet and snuggly and very loyal. Pop Tart seems to be a little too interested in cats and other small critters, so would do best in a home without small furry friends. She needs an active family, one that up for daily playtime and some adventures! Pop Tart is completely house and crate trained and already knows 'sit' and 'shake'. She loves to play, but also enjoys a good snuggle on the couch in the evening. If you think Pop Tart would be a good fit for your family, fill out an application today! Pop Tart has Paw Pals: Terry and Jean K of Atlanta, GA!March 26, 2024, 1:21 pm

Story
Maxine is 9 years old (1/7/15). We’ve had her since she was 5 months. Our family structure has changed and I cannot afford to keep her. We are looking for a loving home. She loves to be outdoors and is a great guard dog and vocalizes when anyone is near the property. She is very sweet and well cared for. We will provide a dog house and kennel and food remaining. Her Vet is Dr. Moorhead also on Main Street in Stone Mountain. We are looking for a loving person who will walk her and play with her. She sometimes gets lonely since we are all back at work and school after the pandemic. I can't say enough good things about Maxine. We found a kitten and she was very easygoing until the kitten was rehomed. We really need to rehome her so please reach out and come meet her if you are even a little interested.

Story
We found Chocolate several months ago hurt in the rain and fostered him while we find a new home. He is great with my other dogs and very sweet. He listens and is very smart. He is very active and loves to exercise. My husband and I currently work over 12hr shifts and barley have time for him. He is currently in a crate for long hours and it breaks my heart which is why I have the urge to relocate him asap. He deserves a chance to be active and loved.

Story
Sheba, a four-year-old 70 pound American Pitbull Terrier with a UKC purple ribbon registration, is affectionate, well-behaved, and fully house-trained. She has been spayed and has never had a litter. She enjoys the outdoors, particularly playing fetch. I am seeking someone who can dedicate time, love, and provide a caring home for Sheba. While she can be a bit skittish at times, she is always protective of her owner. She is accustomed to being indoors and has never slept outside. Sheba gets along well with both children and other dogs.
